CBD VENUE ROUND-UP: SHOUT’s Best in Show

Earlier this month we spotlighted our fave regional venues… now it’s time to turn the spotlight on the Melbourne CBD — and wow, are we spoiled for choice!

Choosing just one? Like picking one lolly in the World’s Greatest Lollyshop (impossible, but we tried).

Here are SHOUT’s 6 Best in Show venues in and around the city — all personally experienced, all event-ready for 2025 and beyond:

1. Carousel – Not a dance club anymore (RIP disco balls), but one of Melbourne’s sleekest waterfront venues. Minimalist style + lake views = yes please.

2. Encore – Coastal luxe meets event-ready glamour, with Rooftop vibes, indoor-outdoor flow, and a beachside backdrop that never fails.

3. Glasshouse – Where architecture meets atmosphere. Olympic Park views, excellent AV, and an interior made for serious impressions.

4. Hyatt Centric – Not your average ballroom. Boutique hotel energy, sun-kissed outdoor breakout areas, and staff who actually get events.

5. Melbourne Place – A very Melbourne industrial design vibe in meeting spaces, made for bold brands and intimate activations. Unique, versatile, unforgettable.

6. Rydges Melbourne – A fresh revamp of an old favourite. Stylish spaces, Exhibition Street buzz, and goodbye Bobby McGee’s, hello modern elegance.

Why these venues stand out:

✔️ Flexible layouts

✔️ Killer locations

✔️ Memorable aesthetics

✔️ AV that actually works

✔️ People who know events aren’t just bookings

Have you hosted or attended an event at one of these? Tag us or share your pics — we’d love to see!

✨ EOFY or Kick-Off Event Coming Up? Let’s Talk Stage Presence.

Whether you’re planning an unforgettable EOFY celebration or putting the finishing touches on your July Kick-Off, don’t let the furniture be an afterthought.

Because let’s face it — beige stackable chairs won’t set the tone.

We’re loving the Autumn/Winter Lookbook from Valiant — a curated collection of European-style pieces that are as functional as they are gorgeous. Think sleek lines, luxe textures, and statement settings that elevate any stage, activation or networking nook.

From brand activations to luxe galas, these pieces bring atmosphere, elegance, and aesthetic impact.

Not All Venues (or Tracksuits) Are What They Seem…

Ever bought something online — say, a winter coat or ahem a white tracksuit — and when it arrived, it looked nothing like the picture? It’s hilarious… until it isn’t.

Now imagine that same surprise factor with your event venue.

👉 Looks perfect in photos.
👉 Sounds fabulous on paper.
👉 But on the day? Not quite the vibe you were promised.

That’s why SHOUT doesn’t just trust glossy brochures and snazzy websites. We do the legwork. Every year, we review new and newly refurbed venues first-hand, curating our Best in Show list — a shortlist of standout spaces we actually recommend (no commissions, just experience).

This year, two regional VIC beauties made the cut:

🌿Balgownie Estate – Yarra Valley

Only an hour from Melbourne, with jaw-dropping views, dedicated event spaces (like the Melba Room and Boardroom), wine to write home about, and food that’ll steal the show.

👉 Perfect for boardroom meetings, forums, expos & more (22–180 pax).
📍 https://www.balgownie.com/

🌊 Intercontinental Sorrento

Art Deco glamour, limestone heritage charm, and views over the Sorrento foreshore. Bright, flexible spaces for everything from intimate board meetings to 230-guest cocktail events.

👉 A flawless blend of heritage & luxe modern hosting.
📍 https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/hotels/gb/en/sorrento/melso/hoteldetail

Event-scape Your Workplace – Yes, Really

Conference centres are great. So are galleries, hotels, and purpose-built event spaces. But what if the perfect event venue has been under your nose the whole time — inside your own workplace?

Whether it’s a lobby that could double as a chic networking space, or a warehouse that’s begging for festoon lighting and live music, the trend of event-scaping your own workplace is having a moment. And here’s why:

📣 Save on venue hire
📣 Minimise staff travel and downtime
📣 Showcase your brand, culture, and personality
📣 Make coming back to work something to look forward to (yes, really)
📣 Give your people a reason to gather with purpose and style

Curious how to pull it off?

Join me for a free SHOUT Workplace Webinar on June 30th 2025 at 12 noon AEST to get 5 practical tips for transforming your workspace into your next event destination.

Oh, and one question to get you thinking ahead of the webinar:

Local in Focus: Drum roll, please… The Round

Nestled just behind the Whitehorse Civic Centre in Nunawading is a local venue that’s quietly (but spectacularly) changing the game for community and corporate events alike.

Introducing: The Round.

Reborn in 2023 as a purpose-built arts and cultural centre, The Round is more than just a theatre. It’s a professional-grade, award-winning venue that blends creativity with functionality – making it just as perfect for your next boardroom brainstorm or corporate conference as it is for a standing ovation.

Here’s what you might not know:

• It’s just a short stroll from Nunawading Station and offers free parking (a Melbourne unicorn, truly).
• It recently won Silver in the 2025 Australian Design Awards for its thoughtful, people-first architecture.
• It’s accessible, beautifully designed, and absolutely up to the task of delivering high-quality corporate experiences.

As someone who’s celebrating 10 years of creating events with flair and function, finding venues like The Round – local, professional, flexible – is what gets me excited. Because going local doesn’t mean compromising on quality. It means investing in places that invest in us.

So if you're planning your next event and wondering whether there’s a hidden gem just around the corner — spoiler: there is.

Let’s GO LOCAL this May.

Let’s get The Round on your radar.

10 Years of SHOUT – Here’s What I Know for Sure

This May marks a decade of SHOUT Productions. That’s ten years of backstage brilliance, wrangling suppliers with a smile, conjuring unforgettable events, and surviving a chemical spill at Adelaide airport (true story).

To celebrate, I’m sharing 10 lessons from 10 years in the business – not in any particular order, but all hard-won and close to my heart:

1. Rote and routine are the enemy of innovation – If you’re not flexible, you’re stuck. I’ve learnt to adapt fast, think sideways, and always assume the unexpected is just around the corner.

2. Live in the detail – Whether it’s 20 people on retreat or 20,000 at a family fun day, success lives in the run sheet, the risk plan, and the bump-in schedule.

3. Nobody wins if the truth is hidden – Clear, honest communication builds trust, saves time, and keeps drama on the stage, not in the green room.

4. There is power in play – It’s not fluff. It’s function. Play sparks creativity, and creativity makes your event unforgettable.

5. Keep building your A-team – Events are never a solo act. The right crew is everything, and backups-to-the-backups are essential (especially for suppliers who suddenly go MIA).

6. Lead with support, not sales – I’m not here to sell, I’m here to solve. I build events by building relationships, and that’s how the best work gets done.

7. Never underestimate a sense of silly – A well-timed laugh has saved many a tense production moment. Leadership includes lightness.

8. Ask for help (earlier) – For years I was a one-woman orchestra. Now I’ve outsourced to the pros (hello Jenn Donovan), and I only wish I’d done it sooner.

9. You are the company you keep – The five people you surround yourself with will shape your energy, your mindset, and your outcomes. Choose wisely.

10. Be thankful – and always debrief – Celebrating the wins is vital. But so is asking “what can we do better?” Events are learning labs, and every one is a gift.

SHOUT has always been more than an events business. It’s a community builder. A stage setter. A creative connector.

Thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to the next 10.

Why Going Local Isn’t Just Nice – It’s Smart Business

Here’s the thing about “going local”: it’s not just a feel-good gesture or a post-COVID trend. It’s strategy. It’s sustainability. And it’s a seriously powerful way to do business.

When we use local suppliers, engage local creatives, and support the brilliant businesses right in our own backyard, we don’t just strengthen community ties — we create a ripple effect of impact.

Jobs. Visibility. Pride. Connection.

As the founder of SHOUT Productions, I’ve spent the last 10 years producing events across Melbourne and interstate. But in 2024, something shifted: I looked around and realised I wasn’t walking the “local” talk. Not one current client was local. Not one venue, musician, MC, or coffee cart was just down the road.

And that stopped me in my tracks – tilted my axis – this had to change.

So, this May, I’m making it official: I’m going all-in on GO LOCAL. I want my business to reflect my postcode — not just in mailing address, but in the people I work with and the impact we create.

Because going local isn’t limiting. It’s expansive. It’s collaborative. And it’s how we build the kind of economy we actually want to be part of.

If you're a business owner, creator, supplier, or someone who loves connecting good people to good people — I want to meet you.

Let's make “local” mean something again.

Not just in May. But from here on out.

✨ Event Wrap-up ✨ On 4th March we wrapped up another ANZ Aggregator CEO Dinner in what is one of my favourite buildings in Melbourne!
⁠
This event brought together Australia's Loan Aggregators to share insights within their industry, to the awe-inspiring backdrop of the ANZ Banking Museum Collins Street. This space is so rich and grand in detail, SHOUT’s event styling let the Gothic features to take the lead and kept our influence to a minimum; adding some soft tonals, flicker using some brand new products from and greenscaping from . Sometimes less truly is more!

I remember my mother telling me of how there once was talk of demolishing this building and she said to me “Mish If ever I was to chain myself to a door and protest, this would be it “. Thankfully this building was protected, and only last year the restoration project completed, a project thankfully championed by CEO, Shayne Elliott. Today you can hear the fascinating stories behind the restoration, experience this collection and its sneaky drawers of discovery, by visiting the Museum - open daily 9:30-4:00pm Monday to Friday. Say hello to Allan, Museum Lead – he knows everything about the collection.
